propagation

subject fact

propagation has definition A mechanism whereby an operation in an aggregate is implemented by having the aggregate perform that operation on its parts - in other words, the operation is propagated to the parts 2001-08-30 14:57:09.0
has example the weight of an aggregate could be obtained by summing the weights of its parts
is a subtopic of 5.6 - More Advanced Features of Class Diagrams
is a kind of process
often occurs in aggregations
often results in the properties of the parts being propagated back to the aggregate 2001-08-30 14:57:09.0
